Misheel, it´s interesting to read about your experience. Thanks for the honest reports. The real trick I guess is to come off it in one bit. I have gone hard dieting a few times and that have almost always left me overcompensating and eventually gaining back and more afterwards. I think you can di it though, you are here and have planned for and have support for a long time success. Great job and be mindful of any crazycravings and desastereating in a couple of days :-).
